Shoulder Pain Shouldn't Keep You From Living Your Life

If you're dealing with shoulder pain, you know how frustrating it can be to feel limited in everything you do.

Can't Lift or Reach Overhead

Simple tasks like putting away groceries, reaching for items on shelves, or lifting weights at the gym have become painful or impossible.



Sleep Is Disrupted Every Night

You can't find a comfortable position to sleep in, and shoulder pain wakes you up multiple times throughout the night, leaving you exhausted.



Fear of Surgery or Failed Treatments

You're worried about needing surgery, or you've already tried traditional PT that didn't address the root cause of your shoulder pain.

"I would give 20 stars if I could! I started seeing Dr. Roe in July for a large herniated L5S1 disc that just was not getting better. I did 16 weeks of traditional PT. I really did not want surgery or an epidural and I had heard great things about BUILT so I reached out to them. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Roe. I have had 11 sessions and am so much stronger. I have my life back!"

"Beyond impressed. I came to Dr. Roe with ongoing back pain (about 4 months), thinking it was something I'd just have to live with. With her guidance, I'm now completely pain-free. She gave clear, easy-to-follow instructions and exercises for rehab, and they made all the difference. I went from side-stepping down the stairs to practically skipping down them!"

"As a middle-aged guy always chasing athletic goals, any injury could mean time away from the activities that bring meaning to my life. I've been working with Natalie for 3 months with the goal of bulletproofing my body. The change has been drastic, particularly in my feet, glutes, and mid/upper back. Anybody willing to put the work in will benefit greatly from her expertise."
